Sam, With regards to your last question, does EnSight Gold format have a place for global variables, I believe the answer is yes (sort of). From the EnSight 10 user's manual:
EnSight Case Gold (recommended format) - is much faster than EnSight 6 and is more memory efficient (noticeable if you have a large number of parts or for larger models) - uses connectivity which can be separate from the node ids - uses a part basis rather than a global array The PDF for this manual (including a good description of the file formats) can be found online at the EnSight web page here: http://www3.ensight.com/EnSight10_Docs/UserManual.pdf Alan -----Original Message----- From: ParaView [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Samuel Key Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2014 12:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] SWKey: Does the PV EnSight reader accept global data? ParaView Users, I have noticed that ParaView 4.1.0-64 on its third tool bar has a filter button for "Plot Global Variables Over Time." The simulation software that I run has global variables total KE, total IE, et cetera. To date, the simulation software produces EnSight 'Gold' binary-formatted results file sets. To get plots of global variables over time, I have contemplated writing code to create an additional EnSight results file set that has a single-vertex cell to which all of the global variables are assigned. Such an approach would be efficient to capture every-time-step results. However, I would like to be able to put global variables in a single EnSight results file set if for no other reason than to make the management of simulation results easier. The question is -- Does the EnSight Gold binary-formatted reader in Paraview accept global variables? Maybe the first question should be -- Does the EnSight Gold format have a place for global variables?
